Re: Get to know your fellow board members....

You seem to have a lot of Boston references even though your location is Cali. Are you originally from Boston, or am I way off on this? Favorite sports teams pro or college?

not from boston just a red sox fan, and the jonathan richman thing was just a coincidence.

but yeah favorite sports team would be the red sox. i always liked rooting for the underdog, and the red sox were it at least until 04'. i try to see them whenever they come play the angels, and it's funny how over the years the red sox fans have got more annoying. i guess it's due to them winning in 04', and being picked on by yankee fans all those years. kind of like a kid who gets picked in school, then later becomes the bully. one day i'd like to go to fenway. i don't really have a college team i root for.

i can't say i remember a specific act i experienced or witnessed, but i have a friend who i always know will have my back on things. he's pretty loyal. i guess it has to do with us growing up together (him not having any brothers, and my closest sibling being six years younger than me), so we're pretty close. he likes to joke that if ever killed anybody he'd be my A.C. driving the white bronco to Mexico. i don't have any plans to do such a thing, but i guess if i ever get wrongly accused of such a thing it's nice to know someone's there.

Re: Get to know your fellow board members....

i always think about that joke from funny people when i hear "the one that got away," that guys and serial killers always have that in common.

anyways, her name was alexandra. i had a sense she probably liked me. i usually have to be hit over the head with it, because i can never tell. and that's probably why i ended up a girl who came on strong, and i could tell obviously liked me. not long after alexandra moved away, and the relationship with the other girl didn't go on much longer. i still think about alexandra sometimes. she was smart, pretty, and funny, so i know i missed out.

Re: Get to know your fellow board members....

What is the first album you ever bought?

i know when i was younger i begged my mom to buy me micheal jackson's dangerous album, but the first one(s) i bought for myself were probably through that columbia house thing where you get 10 cds for a penny. in it were probably notrious big's ready to die, wu-tang's 36 chambers, zapp and roger greatest hits, nirvana mtv unplugged album, and some other ones i can't remember.

Has that artist/band had any significant impact on your musical tastes x-amount of years later?

even though there were a few cds, i guess ready to die and 36 chambers, lead me to listen to more east coast rap, which i wasn't doing at the time. like nas, and delve further years later into things like a tribe called quest and black star. nirvana's mtv unplugged helped me think rock could be cool again after glam/hair bands of the 80s. later when i would come back to unplugged and seek out david bowie albums, and the meat puppets II.

Re: Get to know your fellow board members....

You are hired by the president to compile an elite squad to fight an imminent cyborg occupation. You are only allowed to hire boardmembers. Assemble and explain your team here.

Extra credit if you give everybody a good codename.

great question, hannah. i will take some creative freedom here.

MJA - Codename: The Chameleon - A master of disguise and imitation, who is able to blend into any situation. True identity unknown to even the group itself. Also, the squad's resident party animal.Blackswan - Codename: Blackswan - The muscle and the military expert. Blackswan is stand-offish at times, yet is protective of squad at others.Hannahrain - Codename: Sinister Kid - Highly educated member of the group, with an equally sharp wit. Whenever a situation presents itself that requires analytical thought Sinister Kid is there. Additionally, keeps the morale of the group up, with her jokes.Still-ill - Codename: Bernard - The computer expert. Played a part in the creation of the cyborg, which now threaten civilization. Warned the CEOs of the cyborg corporation of the impending danger, and now fights to destroy what he helped create.PotVsKtl - Codename: KtlVsPot - The wildcard of the group. Expert in drunken monkey fighting style, and code cracker. Codenamed KtlVsPot due his schizophrenic behavior, which will lead to a dramatic scene in movie, in which a code needs to be cracked before a countdown hits zero, but will ultimately be resolved in the ways action movies always do.

best suited for riding: brontosaurus just so you can slide off them fred flintstone style afterwards

best suited for eating: any type of fish dinosaur i would guess, or any dinosaur that doesn't have a better change of eating you first.

board member that looks most like a dinosaur: i guess you could insert a joke about older members of the board here.

another great question. my discovery will discount the belief that humans and dinosaurs were the earths only inhabitants. i will present a new two-legged species, which remains i found in the uninhabitable mountains of iceland. traveling to various large cities around the earth i will display the remains of this species for all to see. experts in the field will verify that the remains in fact predate the dinosaurs. my book "your god don't know shit," which i will write shortly after, will top the new york times best seller list. months later, i will be outed as the fraud i am when my "so-called" experts, slighted by need for fame, but more so my lack of payment, will tell of how i scripted their answers to meet my needs. shortly after, i will visit the oprah show to tell me side, but the damage will be done. i will since be known as "laughenstein."

Re: Get to know your fellow board members....

i cleared with it shakermaker my mix recipient from the mix exchange thread, but here's my mix for those interested.

edit: it's a collection of some songs i enjoy not necessarily my favorite, but it might say something about me, although i'm not sure what that is just yet. also, the wedding present song is mislabeled the wedding presents, so you'll have to fix that if you download.

I'm an extremely handsome sorcerer. If you give me one of your toes, I'll make you fluent in a language to the point of crafting brilliant prose and heartwrenching poetry on par with the native greats. We can repeat the cycle until you're out of toes. How many toes do you give me, and what do you learn as a result?

5 man team... 6 is too fucking many people. MJA/Rattle-Thrush Steve- 10 years before the occupation, this fellow stole the hearts of many a cyborg woman. Envious actions have led the cyborgs to name this man enemy #1. That is why I needed him on my team... the male equivalent of a Bond Girl. MJA is an intelligence expert, leeching all needed info from goverment office staff. His methods are mostly unknown, all I do know is the supply closet is involved.

Spinecraft/The Adenoid- The Adenoid is a Chemical warfare mastermind who helped rebel groups in Turkey usurp the Ottoman throne. His methods are crude and often demeaning. Used his knowledge in Musical Therapy to create a sort of anti-thesis in aural torture. Useful, but he comes with a price.

Hahhahrain/Black Rain Cloud Dick- Hypnotist to Cyborgs. I thought it was impossible to put a cyborg to sleep, but one night while watching late night television I saw this individual putting fully grown male cyborgs into a deep trance, and eventually putting them to sleep. It seems she uses a toxin that consists of vodka and ginger root to give her some extrasensory abilities, then she reads from a tome on the dark art of hypnotism. The book is written by Tim Robbings.

BonerfromGrowingPains/Banana Mead- Martial Arts expert and my personal body guard. Spent three years on a bluff in Tibet chanting to the rhythms of the wind. He can do some crazy shit now.

I'm the 5th member, I hold the walkie talkie.

Every day of my life. My best friends mom still does it all the time... which is ridiculous because I've been telling her for about 6 years now that it is incorrect. My aunt also does it. It really bugs me when people I know do it to me.

It is even more annoying when the put two "r"s in Horace.

I gave you 4 toes. I learned:
"Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me three times, there are 10 toes and hundreds of African dialects? Fool me four times!? Fucking Austronesian, man?

Sincerly,

I stay in LA. I am from Tucson, but moved to L.A. when I was 2 years old. Lived in Philadelphia for a year when I was 8 when my dad went to Temple. My First Coachella was 2008, but only one day (saturday). I don't know why I didn't go before that... I guess I didn't think it would be all that great. Weird, huh?

That last one is surprising to me, but it just feel right. I don't really listen to them that much, but I would LOVE to see that stuff live. I can probably give a better answer than that, but it is 1 a.m. here.
